Using Google Maps to return a location?

[thedesolatesoul]

Hello people of the forum,
Does anyone know if it is possible to get a location from google maps using an intent or StartActivityforResult?
I dont want to code a full map activity (and that requires getting an api key etc), so I was wondering if Google Maps is installed on all devices, I might just invoke it so the user can select a location, and the app returns that to me through intent?
...so far my searches returned zilch...
Thank you for your time

I've seen many devices with googleMaps not pre-installed, especially the cheap ones I'm often dealing with
